Tucker converted all four field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 26-16 win over the Falcons.

Tucker logged an outstanding fantasy outing Week 13, accounting for more than half of Baltimore's total points. He has not missed a kick since Week 7. The 29-year-old remains one of the top fantasy options at his position heading into Sunday's tilt against the Chiefs.

Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Chiefs.

Carlson made his first career field-goal attempt from 50-plus yards Sunday, and he also connected from a respectable 44 yards out as well. The rookie has remained perfect throughout the Raiders' past three contests and will look to maintain momentum against the Steelers in Week 14.

Myers connected on all five of his field-goal attempts and an extra point in Sunday's 26-22 loss to the Titans.

Myers was true from 54, 34, 43, 39 and 39 yards. The 27-year-old kicker has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise disappointing season for the Jets, connecting on 28 of 30 field-goal attempts while demonstrating tremendous proficiency on longer kicks.

Bryant converted on a field-goal try from 44 yards out and succeeded on his lone extra-point attempt during Sunday's 26-16 loss to Baltimore.

The beloved veteran kicker has yet to miss since returning from a groin injury in Week 11 (6-for-6 on FGA, 4-for-4 on PAT), but the volume he's seen of late has proven insufficient to providing starting fantasy value. With just two field-goal attempts over Atlanta's past two games, Bryant has registered an output of 10 combined points (standard scoring) against New Orleans and Baltimore -- teams that have each allowed 17 FGA this season (tied for third-fewest in NFL). Facing Green Bay's 12th-ranked red-zone defense has the potential to provide more scoring opportunities to Bryant in Week 14.

Santos drilled his sole field-goal attempt from 35 yards and also connected on all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 24-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Santos continued his flawless streak to open his Buccaneers career, as he's now 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-11 on extra-point tries over his first three games in Tampa. Granted, the 27-year-old has yet to be tested from distance, as the longest of Santos' three field-goal attempts has come from just 41 yards. Nevertheless, the stability he's brought to the position since taking over for Chandler Catanzaro has been noticeable, and he should continue enjoying a fair share of scoring opportunities over the last four contests of 2018.

Fairbairn successfully converted a career-high five field goals in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Browns.

Houston's 25th-ranked red zone offense once again presented Fairbairn with a number of scoring opportunities, and the third-year kicker from UCLA happily obliged. He made kicks from 35, 42, 48, 53 and 38 yards while also converting two extra-point kicks for a career-high 17 points. He leads all kickers in scoring (116 points) and ranks second overall to only the Rams' Todd Gurley (120) on the season.

Boswell made his only field-goal attempt (48) and converted three of four extra-point attempts during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Chargers.

The field-goal was just Boswell's 10th of the year, tied for second fewest for a team this season, and he has now missed four extra-point attempts this season -- more than in his previous three seasons combined. He should get plenty of opportunities in Week 14 against Oakland, which allows the second most fantasy points to kickers per game (8.6).

Prater converted all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone PAT during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Rams.

The Lions' inability to convert in the red zone gave Prater a number of opportunities to rack up points, and the veteran responded with his fourth performance with at least three successful field goals. Now 23-for-26 on FGAs in 2018, Prater will proceed into Week 14 as a quality fantasy option in most formats.

Gano said Sunday that he's dealing with knee pain in his plant leg, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Gano is usually one of the more reliable kickers in the league, so a knee injury would serve to explain his recent struggles. The 31-year-old expressed optimism that he would be able to play through the lingering issue, but it remains to be seen whether Gano will eventually be required to undergo surgery to address his injury.

Bryant is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Contained to just one limited listing on the injury report this week, Bryant nonetheless will continue on as the Falcons placekicker with Giorgio Tavecchio on the inactive list. In his eight appearances this season, Bryant has missed just one kick (an extra point) en route to 7.6 points per game.
